This has been a very interesting year with the NBA Western Conference playoffs. We have seen sweeps and series brought to seven games, and unlike the Eastern Conference, these series have actually been entertaining! Here is a quick look at what's gone done out West.
In round 1, the 2009 champions, the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Oklahoma City Thunder. While the Lakers were on a mission to return to the finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder were a young team looking to make a statement.
In the end, Kobe Bryant refused to let his squad lose this one.
In another first round matchup the Denver Nuggets squared off against the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets were without Coach Karl, which may or may not be the reason they couldn't pull it together. In the end, the Jazz beat the Nuggets in six games.
The Phoenix suns were pitted against the pesky Portland Trailblazers in the first round. The Trailblazers are good, but the Suns played like winners behind their captain Steve Nash and ended up taking the series in six games.
The veteran San Antonio Spurs, in a major upset, usurped the #2 seed Dallas Mavericks. Mark Cuban will have nightmares for the entire offseason.
In the Western Conference semifinals, the San Antonio Spurs were pitted against the Phoenix Suns. Up until this year, the Spurs had won the last five playoff series against the Suns, however this time was different. The Suns played to make a statement and swept the Spurs in the feel-good story of the playoffs.
The Utah Jazz played the Los Angeles Lakers and had a similar fate to the Spurs. The Lakers came out with a vengeance and beat the Jazz in a quick four games. In a great series matchup, the Lakers are now playing the Phoenix Suns in an exciting, fast-paced matchup.
